Report: Wide receiver Ted Ginn to visit with 49ers Wednesday

by Brandon Wise | CBSSports.com

(3/3/15) Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. is reportedly scheduled to visit with the 49ers Wednesday, according to ESPN. Ginn, who was released by the Cardinals last month, reportedly visited with the Titans as well Tuesday.

Ginn Jr. caught 14 passes in 2014 for 190 yards. He was a member of the 49ers from 2010-2012, where he totaled 33 catches for 384 yards and one touchdown. He also averaged 23.5 yards per return in those three seasons.

Ginn spent the 2013 season with the Panthers and had his second-best season as a receiver, catching 36 passes for 556 yards and five touchdowns. His touchdown total was a single-season best with his yardage total second to his output in 2008 with the Dolphins (790).

Ginn was selected in the first round of the 2007 draft by the Dolphins. He was traded from Miami to the 49ers in 2010 and spent three years in San Francisco. He was with the Cardinals this past season and caught 14 passes for 190 yards and had one punt return for a touchdown.

The Cardinals drafted rookie receiver Jamarcus Nelson in the fifth round of the NFL Draft from UAB. He is a tiny receiver at 5-foot-10, 156 pounds, but he has 4.28 speed. He will likely replace Ted Ginn as the main return man since he averaged 38.3 yards per return in college, but he'll struggle to make plays on offense. Ignore Nelson in the majority of leagues on Draft Day.
